Hi Ethan and Marshall,

Could you forward to the Anesthesia Group that all of the thoracic surgeons will now be using Fragmin instead of Heparin. It is stocked in the med room and in the drawers in Th. 4 & 5.

Thanks !

Vickie

Good morning!

Just to let you all know that thoracic surgery would like 3 pre-filled Fragmin syringes to be stocked in both Th. 4 and 5 effective immediately. They will still need heparin to remain in both theatres as well. I will update the drug list and have it relaminateed to hang at the side of all carts.

Please see me if you have questions. Have a good Thursday!

Karen
